"SONG(S), MIXED OF THINGS"

 

Hi everyone!, I hope you are fine. Today I’d like to share with you a song than I love a lot, it is  named “Zombie” by Fela Kuti, artist and political activist.  This song is from 1976 and it is about millitaries, who acted and repressed to the Nigerian people after receiving orders. The interesting thing about this is that the song gives a strong criticism of the political system, the musical style was created by Fela Kuti: “the afrobeat”.  The rhythm of this song makes you not want to stop dancing and maybe that´s one of the reason why I like it so much.

Another song that I love because it brings me good memories is “La Cosquillita” from “Juan Luis Guerra y los 4-40”, this album was put on the market in 1994.  This song is a meringue, which is very, very, fast & happy and when I dance it leaves me exhausted. I remember dancing  this song with my dad at family parties and spinning around until I´m dizzy what makes me very happy.

Although there are many songs that I like a lot, I must say that in general, I really like music that allows me to enjoy and dance alone or in company.

 

See you soon.
